Tadek and Rich,
first thing I believe these are mistakes in the certificates. Since I have
seen the records of my cars in the old books in Gaydon, from where the
registrars take their information, first I doubt the trueness of the notes on
the certificate. The registrars do these certificates for such a big range of
cars, the book note which means a locking petrol cap on a Landrover can be the
same as for a cigarette lighter on a Healey.
I would double check that with the registrar.
There is also on Tadeks certificate a foot note: Wire Wheels. As we all know
these were standard items on BN1s and BN2s and on my BN1 certificate it is not
mentioned. I would check this as well.

Betreff: Re: [Healeys] Locking Petrol Cap
Hello all,
I recently received a copy of a BMIHT certificate for a BN1 built 8 September,
1954. One of the foot notes on the certificate specificaly states the car was
equipped with a "locking peterol cap".
Now in review, this is on a standard BN1 which would have had the usual stock
filler cap located within the boot compartment. In addition, by the design of
the rim of the filler neck it would have to be a somewhat different design
than those fitted to a 6 cylinder model. And as a further note, the externally
mounted quick fill hinged cap of the S model would be another design again.
Therefore there was in fact a locking type of cap fitted to at least a number
of Hundreds, even though as Josef notes, it may be rather redundant if one
locks the boot lid anyway.
